experienced moms, what do u think?

Anyone have a vaginal birth after a c-section (VBAC)? My dr doesn't do them, but I've been thinking about it. I love my dr and like the idea of having him for my second pregnancy. Do you think I should stick with him or change drs and try for a vaginally delivery? My first was six weeks early and an emergency c-section, so the thought of having my husband in the room and getting to participate in the delivery myself sounds so awesome...

I had a c-section with my first son and plan to VBAC this time. I have a doctor who not only does them, but encourages women to do it. I suggest you do some research and consider finding a doctor who does them to see if you're a good candidate.

I've not had a c section but my mum had me by emergency c section then went on to have my brother naturally. I personally would try and get your doctor to see if from your side - and TBH I'm amazed any doctor would say you HAVE to go through major surgery if you are willing to avoid it if possible! I know it can be harder to deliver naturally once u have had a c section, but it's certainly not unheard of.

The risk of uterine rupture is so low. And major abdominal surgery carries its own risks to you and baby. I had an emergency cesarean with my first (she had a heart defect) and then I tried for a vbac with the second but after 36 hours with my water broken and no labor, I had to give up. I'd give anything to do a vbac.
